"HEY LOOK! THIS CHEETO LOOKS LIKE A PENIS!" Exclaimed Taehyung from his bed and I looked up to indeed see him holding up an orange penis Cheeto.

I nodded impressively and clapped for him in which he stood up on his bed and bowed for me, "Thank you, thank you very much."

I laughed at his Elvis accent and rolled onto my back, my stomach hurting from my insane laughing fit. Taehyung smiled happily at his successful attempt to make me smile, "Finally."
  
I wiped a tear from the corner of my eye and sat myself up with my hands, "Finally what?"

"You laughed." He jumped off of the bed onto the floor and sat down next to me, a feeling of accomplishment showing on his face brightly, "You know, a week or two ago, you looked like you had smoked fourteen pounds of pencil shavings."
   
I rolled my eyes with a light scoff, "Oh wow, thanks,"

He shrugged he shoulders and put his legs in crisscross applesauce, holding his feet with his hands comfortably, "Well, it's the truth, Chim, and that's all I can say."

I sighed and laid on my back again, making constellations out of Taehyung's prickly ceiling.

"But it's fine, I'll love you no matter what," he said casually as he laid down next to me as well, his hands behind his head.

His words made me smile, "I love you too, Tae."

It was quiet. I didn't like the quiet. It left me alone with my thoughts and that would escalate to something that would rip me apart. I sat up quickly again, slightly scaring Tae who yelled out.
 
"Crap, Jimin, what's up?" He asked, still laying down.
 
"Can I turn on the TV or the radio or just.. something?" I ask and stood up to look around for a remote of some sort.

Taehyung was confused but he didn't question my actions, "Yeah, it's over there on my nightstand."

I walked past the velvety bed and there sat a little black remote on the black nightstand, which I used to turn on the TV to a random news channel. I sighed as my thoughts were being pushed away by the cheesy news music and sat next to Tae once again.
  
"Hello, I am Kim Ho-Min, your newscaster for this afternoon and we have some interesting news for today."  A man in a clean cut suit introduced with a few papers in his hand, his mundane and normal look just screaming beta, "Yesterday evening, news of a marriage joining two of the most prominent companies in the business world, the famous Jeon and Min branch."
  
Jeon?

"Yes, the Jeon and Min companies are going to become one with the help of Mr. Jeon Jungkook and Ms. Lalisa Manoban," a picture of Jungkook and a woman side by side popped up on the screen. He was.. side hugging her. My skin burned, the complete opposite of those little tingles that I would feel whenever Jungkook and I touched.

"Moving on, the weather—" the TV was shut off and it became a black screen in which I saw my crying reflection.
 
When did I start crying..?

Taehyung had the TV remote in his hand but threw it on the bed and took me into a tight, warm hug. His chest provided me a comfort that eased me slightly, but the tears still slid down my red cheeks. Taehyung pulled back and looked me in the eyes with his large hands on my cheeks. Each tear that slipped from my eyes, Tae scooped them up with his thumb, each and every one of them, one by one.

"Stop chasing after pieces of him," I dipped into his brown eyes, examining his dilating pupils, "when I can dedicate my whole self to you."

I stared into his eyes with a confused look and he smiled slightly and a little sadly, knowing that I had no understanding of what he meant.

"The truth is.. I've always wanted to steal you away... to make you mine."

The pieces started to click and my lips parted slightly but his eyes remained on mine and his hands stayed on my cheeks, "I didn't want to ruin anything. Our friendship.. Our trust.. If I even think about losing you, I can't breathe. My heart comes to a complete stop."

His warm hands on my face continued to comfort me and make me feel safe and protected.

"I've always thought 'Will I ever be able to have you?' but I suppressed it because you're just too important to me." I saw tears forming in his eyes as well but he tried to blink them away, "But.. But seeing you being ruined like this.. break like this.. I know I could make you so much happier."
    
A single tear slowly slid down his cheek but I lifted my hand and wiped it away with my thumb before it could fall to the floor. Once my skin touched his, I smiled at him and poked him on his nose, making a little 'boop' noise.

We both laughed at my random action and his hand slid off of my cheek but I quickly grabbed it and placed it back on my cheek. He looked surprised and had wide eyes, "I'm really sick of a love that makes me hate myself even more by every passing day, Tae."

He blinked and his eyes flickered from my left and right, "So, if you're willing to love me, make me smile, hold my hand, watch bear documentaries with me, and hold me tight when I have bad dreams, I'll try to love you too."
    
He shined a smile that spread from each ear, "That's all I need, chim-chim."
